“This is a very unassuming restaurant in an older shopping center off of redwood road and 7000 S. Next door to the Smith's. I saw a picture of their Chao Long on Yelp and thought it looked appealing, so I ordered it. The gentlemen at the front seemed a bit surprised, but said it was a good choice. When I got home and took a closer look, it made sense why he may have reacted that way. Chao Long comes with Rice Porridge and then a side of toppings, herbs, entrails, and a type of pastry or Asian donut. From what I could put together it looked like tripe & chitlins. I'm not sure what else to be honest. I believe there was a blood sausage. It may have been a regular sausage, but either way it was good. It came with some type of oil or sauce in a small ounce packet. I just threw everything in my porridge and let the flavors marinate and the entrails get heated up again for a minute or so. Then dug in. I enjoyed every last bit of this dish. I love trying new things. I will definitely be back here to try other dishes. Definitely a hidden jewel for me. Their Facebook page shows that you can order for large parties. Looks amazing too.“
“Nhan was so helpful and patient as we asked a million questions. ? Very accommodating and the food is also good! Even my carnivore husband enjoyed dinner here! ??????If parking lot is full, there’s a lot just across the side street that is wide open. ?“
“Came here soon after they opened for the day. Lovely and clean atmosphere. I had the brisket pho and my friend had the chicken pho, which were both very good!! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes. Our server was very kind and loves k-pop. I am excited to come back!“
“This was my 1st time at the establishment. Had the brisket pho tonight. A very large flavorful portion. Great meat to noodle ratio. Flavoring was perfect. A generous serving of side items for the pho. The staff was very nice and helpful. Even the bathrooms were well maintained and clean. I really enjoyed my dinner here. I will definitely return to try more items, to have the pho again, and to introduce more people to this establishment. Solidly worth your money!!“
“The food is absolutely delicious! Everything is fresh. Pho is hard to beat! It’s my favorite thing about this place. Such an incredible place especially on a cold day!!!Vegetarian options: Veg & tofu pho, tofu spring rolls, panfried tofu combo w/veggies, vegetarian lomein or flat noodles, tofu curry, tofu & veg fried rice.“
“I absolutely love this place! My dining experience at The Pearl was nothing short of excellent. The combination of delicious Vietnamese cuisine, attentive service, and cozy atmosphere made for a memorable and enjoyable evening. Highly recommend!“
“We went for a late lunch today, sadly to close to 3pm when they close, they close from 3pm to 4pm., but still were taken care with kindness. We had Wonton Soup, Pot Stickers, General Tso and Fried Rice. Food was amazing, I enjoyed the Fried Rice ? a lot. Good customer service, restaurant is really clean.“
“House Special. Always healthy serving of the side vegetables. I recommend asking them for the chilli oil if you can handle the heat. Their broth is unique as it feels thicker than other pho restaurants I've reviewed in the past.I do not recommend the ox tail pho as it turns the broth on the fatty side and the meat and fat one bone that was served to me was on the tougher side. FYI, I did come here more than once to try both the house Special and the ox tail pho on two different visits.“
“A friend recommended this place, and on a cold night in Utah, we decided to give it a try.The service at Pho Cali was quick and straightforward, the no-nonsense kind that I appreciate. They were attentive and patient as we placed our orders.We started with the egg rolls and spring rolls. While they were good, they didn't exactly make me rave. If you're in the mood for them, they'll satisfy your craving.Our main focus, of course, was the pho. We ordered the special pho and a plain pho with no meat because our kids adore the flavorful broth and noodles. Let me tell you, their pho hit the spot perfectly. It left me wondering why they haven't opened a location in Sandy yet. I'm already craving more, and I can't wait to return on the next cold day.But that's not all we tried. The stir-fried egg noodles with seafood were banging as my daughter would say and everything was fresh and piping hot, just the way we like it.If you're in the mood for a comforting and delicious bowl of pho, Pho Cali is the place to go. It may not be far from us but it's definitely worth the drive. I can't recommend it enough for a satisfying pho experience.“
“This is such a great place. The best way I can describe it is the polar opposite of trendy. The food is phenomenal. Service and atmosphere is exactly what you should expect from a mom and pop joint that has been consistently good for many years. As long as you aren't in a hurry, this will be one of the most enjoyable bowls of Pho you will ever have.“
“I've been searching for a sugarcane drink place in Utah for a really long time. Not only was this drink authentic but tasted very similar to how my hometown in Vietnam used to make it. It was very nostalgic and brought back a lot of memories from my childhood. This is very convenient knowing I no longer have to travel to Cali to get sugarcane since this location is 10 minutes from my house. I also recommend their spring rolls/egg rolls, chicken rice plate, and flan cake:)“
“Don’t go any where else for Pho. They have the best broth in the salt lake valley, delicious!!! I had the specialty pho w/o meatballs because I’m gluten free. My husband tried the pho with meatballs and it had a crazy good flavor. Service was quick and friendly!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available, staff very knowledgeable.“
“The first time I came here hearing good things and ordered Pho to-go. Don’t do that it wasn’t very good. The second time I ordered the Brisket Pho because they had ran out of Bun Bo Hue. It was pretty good! Not the best Pho I’ve had but it satisfied me. The restaurant is nice and has a TV playing music on it. Good spot for Vietnamese food. Can’t speak to if you want to order tacos and burritos here.“
“I came here for the first time after hearing good things. I got a small Pho 34 and it was amazing. Large portion too. They bring toppings (soy sprouts, basil, green spicy chiles and lime), I wish they bright out cilantro too. The broth was delicious and there was plenty of meat in my bowl. I will definitely come back for the soup.I also got a banh mi (pork baguette) to go and it was OK. It only had pork a some carrots and maybe another vegetable. No cilantro, no jalapeño :( it was good, just kind of lacking some kick.The service was fast, the food came out quickly and hot. This place is affordable and delicious, I will definitely will be back for the PHO! <3“
“Loved my entire experience, start to finish. Ending with a masterful Venus roll that melted in my mouth and left me wanting more, but I was too stuffed. I will be coming back. Our waitress was so lovely, wish I remembered her name. 11/10 would highly “
“This is the first time I came to Utah for traveling and the food is phenomenal. Service was nice since I came in the rush hour but the food came out fast and fresh. I ordered the Pho and the broth blew me away with its flavor. Highly recommended. Sorry I could not wait to enjoy my food so I can not post a picture here.“
“Really tasty pho! Had been here before a few years ago and wasn't wowed then, but glad I gave it another go! Broth was delicious, light, and flavorful. Not too sweet or oily as I've had at other restaurants. Wanted to try their banh mi, but were told by one waitress they weren't selling them anymore but told by another waiter that they were out of the bread. Also had the Thai iced tea; not bad but I have definitely had better elsewhere. Spent about $35 for two small pho tai bowls, a coke, and a Thai tea. Which is not too bad! They have a bathroom but it is located toward the back and it's in a creepy looking hallway with yellow walls and it is shared with the restaurant next door. Very interesting experience to say the least lol. There is a lot of parking spaces but good luck trying to find one! This restaurant is located in a shopping strip section next to the Chinatown Supermarket which is always busy! All in all, we will absolutely be back and I hope to try their banh mi!“
“20240208: We were a group of 5. Three of us had sandwiches, one had a salad, and one had soup. We were all pleased. The veggies were fresh, the baguette bread crust was crispy and hollowed out so that it wasn't too much bread. There could have been a bit more meat.“
“This place is a great value! I got The Sinner with a cup of pho broth to dip in. The sandwich was delicious, with a nice balance of veggies and meat. The pork belly was cooked to perfect tenderness. Dipping it into the pho broth took it over the top and there's enough broth to share.I'll definitely be back in the future!“
“A must visit for anybody looking for a great sandwich, healing soup, and especially for those who have never had banh mi, pho, or Vietnamese food at all. Incredibly wonderful atmosphere, the restaurant is so cute and elegantly decorated, and the food comes out so quick I was amazed. It was a fantastic meal. They were even nice enough to give two bowls so that a friend could share one order of foot into two bowls for smaller appetites. The staff are so nice and it is such a pleasant experience overall. Thank you“

“This is mine and my boyfriends favorite spot! The food is always so unbelievably good and the customer service is always excellent! We get the shaking beef every time it’s to die for, but honestly everything we’ve tried from this spot has never disappointed. I couldn’t recommend this place more!Parking: Public parking garage across the street and free parking lot just down the street. Street parking as well“
“I had the pork and egg banh mi and it was good, not the best I've ever had. Bread was crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, not alot of pork though. The viet iced coffee was strong and legit, and the coconut cream sticky rice and bean dessert was tasty as well.“
“I just found good vegeterian food yesterday when l walked inl saw so much in here. ohhh gosh everything l mean most everything is good . I got to find most my home food, tranditional food , all kind of food drink is there. I got very good soup l been looking for long time, it makes me so much happy as well.

“As a California native, my husband and I were always surrounded by incredible Vietnamese food. You guys, this is it. Authentic Vietnamese dood at its finest! ?We ordered their large chicken pho and the proportions were excellent! Lots of noodles to chicken and condiments ratio!Their shrimp spring rolls are large and come with a spicy peanut sauce that is an absolute dream. BY FAR, MY FAV!Their honey glazed pork sandwich was fire. We also got the cream cheese wontons and they were so crunchy and flaky! The sweet sauce was the perfect dip.Their bobas. Can’t even believe how delicious they are! Honeydew flavor was killer!Certainly coming back again very soon. We’re hooked!“
“My go to spot for lunch on Tuesday, always start with the fresh springs rolls (no pork). For entree I get the shaking beef, this last time however when I got the shaking beef portion was fairly smaller than the times before…I guess I’ll have to ask for more beef even if I have to pay for it, but overall really really great food!“
“I never been to Bambū before and have seen so many videos of popping boba. I have been so eager to try it. When I first walked in I was so in awe of the vibe and decor of the place. It really is beautiful and it smelled amazing! I got the strawberry banana smoothie with strawberry popping boba. It was 10/10! It was so good and the popping boba was so fun. I loved it! I will definitely be returning and telling all my family to try it as well. Also the lady at the register was so sweet and friendly. Look forward to trying more drinks!“
“Had the Pork Sandwich, which was served with Sweet Potatoe Fries. The food was excellent, and my server, Ricardo, was very polite. The atmosphere was very calming and comfortable. My food came to me quickly, and was crafted wonderfully. Great price, great service, excellent quality!“
“Incredible Vietnamese food! The combination of flavors are fantastic. Very kind and attentive staff and the atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming. We tried multiple items on the menu and enjoyed every single bite!Must try items:Steamed Shrimp Goi Cuon Tom ThitChicken Wings with Sweet + Sour SauceSpicy Korean Beef SandwichSpicy Korean Beef Rice Plate with Kimchi on the sideSpicy Korean Beef Noodle SaladVietnamese CoffeeOur first time here was less than a week ago and we have already gone back twice since! :)“
“I have been going here for several years. The flavor of the Pho broth varies slightly some days, However it is still the best Pho ever, their sandwiches are very good also. My favorite pho is P1 brisket and favorite banh mi sandwich is S8 garlic Ribeye. The people here are also very polite and I love the calm atmosphere.“
“Great experience. Traveling from Texas and stopped in this hidden gem.We ordered the Tai Chien chicken and Beef Pho with pork spring rolls.I have never had such wonderful asian food in my life.I only hope i will find Tai Chien that tastes this good again but likly won't.The dark red/brown siracha sauce is more of a sweet heat flavor fyi. Very delicious on the rice and wonton chips!You won't be disappointed here.“
“One of the best viet spots in SLC, never had a bad meal here and even friends from our of town love it. Menu is very extensive with so many options to choose from. My favorites are the roast chicken (fried basically) egg noodles soup, wonton and cha siu egg noodles soup, and combination rice dish are all great. The sweet and savory mini pancake shrimp with coconut milk is really good and not found in many places. Def recommend when in the area, with many other food and dessert options in the chinatown supermarket complex.“
“You ever root for the underdog? I want to see local business succeed. Nothing against the big chain restaurants I just want the mom and pop restaurants to get their share of the market. It's been pre-pandemic since I've eaten here. The pho tai was pretty tasty. It was really nice to see familiar faces when I returned today. Give them a try... they deserve it.“
“I’m from California and omg this brings me back home the only pho place that’s very delicious and reminds me of California (since all of utah doesn’t have flavor ?)very flavorful food I definitely recommend coming here the staff are amazingI’m going to miss this place once I move back ?“
“Pho Saigon is one of our favorite spots in Murray! The food is delicious and authentic, has a full vegan menu as well as a full traditional menu with animal products as well. Connected with 7 Buddha that offers delicious boba and teas. The bahn mis, pho and pad Thai are dishes I would 100% “
“My family has gone here for over 25 years. It is our favorite Chinese restaurant & where we go for special occasions! I love the taste of everything I've ever ordered but usually end up getting my favorite dishes, all vegetarian with soy 'chicken'. They also offer meat dishes, so any meat eaters can get what they want as well. When I'm buying, everyone eats veggie, but my meat-eating kids don't mind because they love the soy 'meat'!My favorites (all soy chicken) Moo Goo Gai Pan, Mu Shu Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken. Also veggie Won Ton Soup & Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls. My kids also like the Hot & Sour Soup, & the beef & seafood dishes.Vegetarian options: There is a complete separate vegetarian menu as well as a separate meat menu. A lot of variety to choose from. This is the only place I've ever found that does a perfect vegetarian Sweet & Sour Chicken!“
“I have to say that this is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I ever seen. Best service, best foodThe beef broth pho is very delicious. I always eat the house special pho Large. And most important thing is that Soda Fruit!!!!!! Best one “
“Edit: came back and things seem to have changed again. And again are much better. Perhaps I just got a really poorly made one last time here. But the lack of fruit chunks make me think they switched back.They seem to have changed their Boba recipes. They were amazing. And the reason it is always so busy. Now they are very bland. With chunks of fruit in them.“

“Was surprised to see about other customers saying that you place the order at the counter. We were just there couple hourse ago and the staff came to us and took our orders and she was very friendly.Anyhow, I personally have been here a lot of times in the past and my experience is always pleasant, food is always great and I love it that they serve the ?pho like boiling hot.“
“This place hands down has the best Pho in the valley. The broth is so good and the meats on the house special have always been great. They serve plenty of noodles as well with each bowl. The pot stickers are a great choice as well here. The service can be slightly slow but overall very satisfied with all aspects highly recommended!“
